291 Exchange Blvd, Rochester, NY | Directions 1460843.148503 -77.611752
Neighborhoods: Corn Hill
I went there for lunch, the entire mens room was flooded with sewage waste. I think that they had one of the cooks cleaning it up. I will never eat or go here again.
On Wednesday, June 19th I was eating lunch at Panzari's Italian Bistro between the hours of 1pm and 2:20pm. Due to the lunch time the rush, the parking lot was very full so I parked outside of your pub which is located in the same parking lot as Panzari's. When I had finished lunch, I went back to my car to find it missing. I went into your pub and spoke with a bartender asking her if she saw someone take my car and was told that it was probably towed. She was very aloof and didn't seem to know where any of the signs were in the parking lot giving me the name of the towing company or why it was towed.
I eventually found a sign noting the towers name and address, however the red & white sign above this sign stated that the parking lot was for restaurant and shopping patrons; I was a restaurant patron. Because this sign states you must be a restaurant patron to park in the parking lot and my car was towed even though I was visiting a restaurant in this lot, I believe I was a victim of predatory towing.
The City of Rochester law (ordinance 83-317, section 108A-7) regarding towing practices clearly states, "The signs shall state that unauthorized vehicles will be towed at the vehicle owner's expense and shall contain the towing company's name, the telephone number to call to retrieve towed vehicles, and the street address where towed vehicles may be retrieved." I took video and pictures of all the signs in that parking lot and can prove that there is no sign that states the parking places in front of Nathaniel's Pub are specifically reserved for patrons of the pub while also stating that if you park there, your car can be towed at the owner's expense. I can also prove by my restaurant receipt from Panzari's along with having a witness with me who was also having lunch that I was there between this timeframe.
Needless to say, I will never be going to Corn Hill Landing Plaza owned by Mark IV Enterprises, trolled by TNT Recovery & Flower City Towing and will be telling everyone I know about my experience.
Disgusting – This place is ridiculous and knows nothing about customer service. I went there with a friend on a Sunday around 4:45PM which one would think is close enough to dinner time. My friend and I were the only ones in the restaurant ordering food and it took nearly an hour. We ordered wings and a wrap. After waiting over 45 minutes we were informed that the fryers were being cleaned and it was take an additional 15 minutes. All we got in compensation was an extra 2 wings. We will DEFINITELY not be going back. On top of this, the bathrooms were disgusting and fruit flies were flying all around. A fly even landed in a drink making it undrinkable. Please DO NOT support Nathaniel's.
Towed from Nathaniels – I went there for lunch on a Monday, a little before they opened. After trying the door, someone walking up to the door (possibly an employee) informed me that they didn't open until 11:30. I decided to leave my vehicle (walking) and come back after they opened. When I returned about an hour later to get lunch, my vehicle had been towed. Nathaniels bartender explained that I had been seen on camera parking in their nearly empty lot and walking away. 3 Hours, a 3 mile walk and $184.00 later I got my vehicle back and was able to get something to eat, obviously not at Nathaniels.
First I tried calling, then emailing and finally calling again before got in touch with absentee Andy one of the owners. I explained the in justice, but telling me he would get back to me, left the situation unresolved at my expense. I can only assume that towing fees are needed to keep this business open. You won't see my car parked there again...

Memories flashed back, as if I was hiding in one corner of the dining area, witnessing my mom packing food into her tiffins the night before so she could bring to work the next day. I could faintly recall how old I was, though.
One thing for sure: For lunch, my mom almost always had a meager portion of cooked brown rice, some leftovers such as a vegetable stir-fry and a slice of fried mackerel. Occasionally, she would treat herself to the salt-baked chicken bought from the night market earlier.
After completing my routine workout within the neighborhood, I immediately ran to my mom and asked, "Mama, do you happen to keep the tiffins?" Without hesitation, she nodded. "Where would they be?" I investigated further.
Lately, my family relocated and has barely settled down. The new kitchen is still rather messy. With the instructions given, I rummaged through the wet-kitchen cabinet. "Bingo," I exclaimed to myself. "I found ya!" To my surprise, there are not one but two sets of tiffins in our house. They are made of stainless steel and bear a very simple design.
There is a confession I have to make, though, and that is, I fail to preserve my mom's practices — if at all. Because my interest in culinary art was founded during my college days in the States, when it comes to the kitchen, I do not resemble my mom. I have always been an advocate of multiculturalism. My mom, on the contrary, has always been a proponent of traditionalism.
Albeit an ocean apart, my American family is still influencing my culinary practices and eating habits. They are compassionate, friendly folks who are eager to befriend with people from around the world; who are curious about different cultures; who would love to try out new things, including food. I adopted these practices and have not looked back.
|February 2007: My first Chinese New Year in the States, with my American family and friends, as well as other international students
Not only did they let me discover my love of cooking and baking, my American family also brought me into the world of American country cooking. I, on the other hand, introduced them to Asian and French food. (I went crazy about the latter at that time, particularly, desserts and pastries. Oh! Have I told you they also make their own kimchi?)
Anna, one of my American sisters, made dolmas once and brought some along for us to try. The dolma is a kind of stuffed vegetable dish, which normally has a filling of cooked rice, ground meat, vegetables and grains, herbed and spiced and wrapped in grape leaf. Her Iraqi neighbor taught her family about the dish.
|Summer 2007: Anna with her family and pet dog
I was trying to decide on what to fill the tiffins with, and that scene seized my attention.
Since I returned home a little over a year ago, I have noticed that there is a sizable population of Middle Easterners and North Africans in Kuala Lumpur. Before I left Malaysia 3 years ago, that was not the case.
My new neighborhood, which is close to the city's "Korean Quarter," is also housing quite a number of Middle Eastern families and diplomats. In the evening, as I jog in the streets, I can see them spending quality time together as a family, be it through playing badminton or taking a walk before dinnertime. In fact, the house on my right is rented to a Middle Eastern family. Needless to say, it has become easier for me to buy foodstuff from Middle Eastern grocers.
|The part of my new neighborhood from which you can see the Kuala Lumpur Tower (L) and Petronas Twin Towers (R)
To appreciate and learn about different cultures is a way to improve and advance, especially in a multicultural society like Malaysia. In the midst of preserving my own root, my life experience has molded me into a melting pot of cultures. My American family has set a good example for me to learn from. I like the idea of learning about cultures through food.
Remembering Anna, her Iraqi neighbor and her dolmas, I was inspired and concluded that tiffins are not just for the usual dishes my mom prepares. Tiffins can be opened up to endless possibilities amid an influx of new cultures. I was curious about the food brought in by these new immigrants. So, I decided to cook North African dishes for the first time. I made tagine and couscous.
The tagine got its name from the heavy clay pot traditionally used to prepare this dish. It involves an interesting blend of spices and ingredients, which lends interesting and complex flavors to the hearty stew. As I prepared the tagine under the guidance of the recipe, I learned a lot. The cooking process was an eye opener. So is the couscous, which was something I would consider unfamiliar before that.
|Tagine (Image courtesy of Mediterranean Diet)
I packed the tagine and couscous to work the next day and shared them with my colleagues. I wanted to let them experience something new. We loved the fluffy and savory couscous. We were fascinated by the multidimensional quality of the tagine: It has got textures and an indescribable flavor combo that tastes naturally sweet and curry-like. It teases and tickles your tongue with nuances of spiciness; however, the creamy stew is no curry. A colleague even took some home for his wife to try.
I carry on with the tradition of storing my lunch in the tiffins. At the same time, I take pride in my own identity and the set of unique experience that makes me who I am. I am still my mom's daughter, a Malaysian, who under the inspirations of my American family, has learned to appreciate different cultures through food. I am glad that I picked up something new about my new neighbor.
Chicken and Chickpea Tagine
Serves approximately 4
Adapted from Mark Bittman
Originally published with The Minimalist: "A Shortcut to Morocco"
In The New York Times; on Feb 25, 2004

Salt – to taste
Pinch of nutmeg
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of cayenne
1½ ~2½ cups chopped ripe tomatoes
2½ cups dried chickpeas — soaked overnight; drain well before use; you should get 4 cups soaked chickpeas eventually, and if you end up with more, use them
½ ~ ¾ cups raisins / chopped pitted dates / mix of raisins and chopped dried apricots
½ ~1 vanilla bean — split lengthwise
½ cup water — or more
(B) spices — to taste
8 chicken thighs / 4 leg-thigh pieces – cut in two
Chopped cilantro/parsley leaves — to garnish and serve
- Put (A) in a large casserole or kettle, which can be covered later, and turn heat to medium-high. When the butter melts, add the onion, cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens.
- Add the garlic and (B) to the casserole, cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds.
- Add (C) to the casserole, and bring to a boil. If the mixture is very dry, start by adding about ½ cup water. If the mixture is still very dry, add more water so the mixture is almost submerged in water. Now, season to taste with (B) spices.
- Rub the chicken with salt, and nestle them into the mixture. Cover. Five minutes later, adjust heat so the mixture simmers steadily. Cook till the chicken is very tender, for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Taste, and adjust seasoning with (B) spices.

Basic Couscous
Serves approximately 4
Adapted from "The Kitchen Diaries," by Nigel Slater
300 g couscous
Finely grated zest of about 4 lemons
About 1L stock, or less — chicken or vegetable or whichever you prefer
Salt — to taste
- Place (A) in a mixing bowl, which can be covered later, and rub together to unleash the lemony aroma and citrusy oil in the zest. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, bring the stock to a boil. Taste and season with salt. Pour the boiling stock over the couscous. It should cover the grains by about 2 cm. Cover the mixing bowl with its lid, and set aside until the liquid has been absorbed by the couscous.
- Uncover the mixing bowl, using a fork, gently fluff up the couscous. Dish up and serve on the side with e.g. tagine, grilled chicken, or salad.

It all started with a cookie.
Everything I am professionally. All that I'm capable of doing in a bakery. Every wedding and theme cake I've ever conceived and created. It all began with the first thing I was ever taught to make when I started working at my family's bakery: butter cookies. It's been a long time since my first "official" day on the job—almost twenty-five years—and it feels like a long time. When I look back over my life and career, I recall my skills growing at the same slow pace at which a tree grows.

Pastoral takes pride in carrying an array of various types of cheese to serve your gourmet needs. Whether it's pillowy goat cheese, salty Manchego cheese or crumbly Cabot cheese wrapped in cloth, our carefully chosen selections showcase the bounty of artisans who produce hand-crafted types of cheese from around the world. Rustic and traditional French and Italian cheeses may garner the most love, and rightly so, but here at Pastoral we also believe in a sourcing a wide variety of sustainably produced local cheeses from right here in the USA.
Little Napoleon$6.99**Festival Feature!** Little Napoleon's goat milk curds are hand-ladled & the cheese is mold-ripened, developing some blue mottling on the rind with age. At 2 weeks old this cheese is creamy, and mildly sweet, with a pleasant tang. Heading into the 3rd week acidification presents a fuller, savory flavor, which continues to increase in strong, earthy flavors and firmness. Each piece weighs approximately 3 oz. Learn More
Sar Vecchio$8.99**Festival Feature!** With more than 25 awards to its name, SarVecchio is the most decorated Parmesan cheese in America. Earning a gold medal in its category at the 2005 and 2007 American Cheese Society competition, this cheese has a history of excellence, yet it was born out of chance. When Kraft closed one of their Wisconsin cheesemaking facilities, the workers bought it back and created SarVecchio out of dedication to their craft. The nutty, caramel flavor and crystalline texture develop as the cheese ages for at least 20 months. Learn More

Too Long; Didn't Read

We have a limited amount of time to catch up on the day's news as a student. Between our classes, the sports schedules and all of our extra curricular activities – our reading time could be limited to just a minute at any given time. I use tools like Instapaper to help keep track of things I want to read, but that doesn't create time later to actually read long articles.
TL;DR stands for "Too long; didn't read." It's a message to the author of a given piece that their article was too long, and didn't warrant the time of the reader. This may seem cruel, but it's really just a manifestation of our inability to focus on paragraphs longer than three sentences while on the Internet.
So what can you do? You still would like to get caught up on the news, whether it be world, tech, design or sports. Several websites and companies have tried to fix this very problem. By summarizing an article down to just a sentence or two, they provide you with a quick way to browse the news. This lets you get the facts and then, if you have time, click through to the longer piece.
I've used several of these websites, and currently have a list of favourites you should check out:
These guys are the best. Short, succinct stories, with a click-through link to the actual piece if you have time to read. Plus, they have topics covering everything from sports to world news.
Following a similar pattern as TL:DR (although Summly actually launched first), this service comes in the form of an iPhone app with a unique UI that let's you swipe between stories. Although I'm not a total fan of the way you interact with the app, it's summaries are well crafted and efficient.
Evening Edition
The Evening Edition is a website and email newsletter that delivers the top couple world news stories with a paragraph of smart commentary. I've subscribed to the EE, and getting an email with the stories + commentary is a great way to go about reading them when you have time.
The Brief
Following the steps of the Evening Edition, The Brief focuses more on technology news than world. The articles here are high quality, no link-baiting or garbage articles, and the writing is well done. If you enjoy technology, or are looking to expand your knowledge in that field, I'd recommend you subscribe.
There are plenty of other services that let you get a bite-sized version of the news, but these are some of my favourites right now. We have limited time to actually catch up on important news in the world, but these websites and apps help us keep, what I call, a responsible minimum of awareness.

The global IT firm held its place for the 10th year in a row on Fortune's Fastest Growing Companies list, despite ongoing debt problems in Europe -- its second-largest market after North America.
The company first made the list in 2003, taking the No. 66 spot. It has made the list every year since, settling in at no. 83 in 2012. Though Cognizant is based in the U.S., most of its operations and workforce are in India, where in 2011 it overtook Wipro Ltd. as the country's third largest software exporter by sales. In 2012, it surpassed India's IT bellwether Infosys for the second top spot.
Looking ahead, its uncertain how Cognizant will fair as Europe's debt crisis could potentially get worse. The company has warned the region would remain a drag on sales. In May, Cognizant lowered its full-year forecast for the first time in nearly four years.

Fadi was only halfway through the first chapter, so he didn't know how successful Claudia had been in her getaway, old-fashioned or not, but he sure hoped that his family would be. If they weren't, they were going to be in an awful lot of trouble.

Kickstarter nation, I need your help. I want to bring more attention to the lost art of sign painting and through the funding I can generate through these great rewards, I will be able to produce this video and share my 40 years of knowledge with anyone that wants to take-up sign painting or add it to their portfolio of services. The rewards for your pledging are unique in the fact that I will hand letter your logo, message or design that you can proudly display in your home or office (great for framing and a great conversation piece).
Until the early 1990's, it was fairly common to drive down main street and see a sign shop that hand painted signs. The evolution of technology however brought upon us a new era of computer generated signs.
This is me at the Institute of Lettering & Design in the early 1970s, mastering the art of sign painting.
My project is to bring attention back to the art of sign painting and to preserve sign painting for years to come. If my goal is reached, I will produce an instructional DVD on how to learn sign painting, techniques, tricks and mastering sign layout. I studied sign painting for 2 years and have 40 years of experience in sign painting. I want to share this art with others so it can be used for years to come.
If you select the $125 pledge, you will receive the DVD along with other special rewards including video and professional photos of your sign being lettered. This is not something that any artist can pick-up easily, as it is an art of its own. For over 30 years I hand painted signs every single day and at one point was so busy that I would work for 14 hours a day. Those times are long gone, but with your backing, I hope to be just as busy, if only for a few months.
If my goal is reached, this will mean I will have to create well north of 100 custom signs featuring your logo, designs or artwork. I will take on any design you send my way. If you want a sign painters special where I design your sign and letter it, I would be honored to do so.
Your sign will be lettered on a thick show-card and shipped right your door. Whether its your logo, a favorite quote, your name, or any of the above as a gift for a friend or family member, this will be a unique piece to hang in any home or office.You can request any color background (standard colors available) and multiple colors in your sign.
If the project goal is met, I will also be featuring each sign that I create on my blog at www.ChesPerry.com (blog launches when the Kickstarter project has ended).
I sincerely hope you will back this important project. This will be a lost art one day, but with your help me can keep it alive for some time to come.
The sign shop where it all happens. Hope this place is a "mess" with projects in June.
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

In general, the term disability is often used to describe an ongoing physical challenge. This could be a bump in life that can be well managed or a mountain that creates serious changes and loss. Either way, this term should not be used to describe a person as weaker or lesser than anyone else! Every person has a purpose, special uniqueness and value, no matter what hurdles they may face. In addition, just because a person has a disability, does not mean they are disabled. Many living with these challenges are still fully active in their work, families, sports or hobbies. Some with disabilities are able to work full or part time, but struggle to get through their day, with little or no energy for other things. Others are unable to maintain … [MORE]

On Sheryl Sandberg and conquering confidence killersMarch 5, 2013: 11:45 AM ET
Self-doubt is just part of being a professional. Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg can give us some inspiration on how to put negative thoughts in their proper place.
By Amanda Pouchot
FORTUNE – At a recent work meeting, I caught myself saying the following words: "Well, this isn't a great idea, but what if we did …" and then I stopped. I remember saying such things during my first few meetings as a consultant at McKinsey & Company, but I thought surely by now -- as someone who had created and developed a company -- I would not succumb to that kind of preemptive self-doubt. But there I was, suggesting that my thoughts weren't worthy of discussion.
At a women's conference in 2010, Diane von Furstenberg responded to an audience member's question about how to behave confidently when you are not quite there with the following advice: "Fake it 'til you make it."
MORE: YouTube to launch music streaming service, take on Spotify
Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook (FB), echoed von Furstenberg's sentiment in a 2011 New Yorker profile. After listening to a college lecture on feeling like a fraud, she claimed, "I felt like that my whole life." Throughout her college years, Sandberg says, "I really fooled them." Addressing Barnard College graduates in 2011, she said that to this day she sometimes doesn't feel confident in herself: "All along the way, I've had all of those moments, not just some of the time; I would say most of the time, where I haven't felt that I owned my success."
Joanna Barsh, senior director at McKinsey & Company and author of How Remarkable Women Lead, says her biggest career challenge was getting out of her own way: "I was -- and am -- plagued by limiting fears … and because my sponsors were not versed in how to interact with such a creature, they took my 'no thank you' at face value and offered their opportunity to the next person -- a man who invariably grabbed it. It turns out that the challenge of getting out of my own way was the biggest one I ever faced."
At first I thought the concept of "faking it" was insincere, and that I would be lying to those around me. I was worried I'd be found out -- that they would discover that I don't have the skills to be doing what I am doing, or that I don't know what I am doing. I've come to recognize that these fears are irrational. But there are so many moments where I've let that little voice of doubt and insecurity take control.
Von Furstenberg, Sandberg, and Barsh make me feel less alone in falling prey to these negative thoughts. But just knowing that these powerful women had youthful moments of doubt is not enough: How did they actually learn to not listen to that feeling and get to where they are today?
Barsh suggests you should "remind yourself or find out what it is that you really want. Re-center yourself on possibilities ... Let go of non-mission critical tasks, accepting that you are not perfect and should not have that as a goal in mind." Sandberg's suggestion is similar: "Don't let your fears overwhelm your desire. Let the barriers you face -- and there will be barriers -- be external, not internal. Fortune does favor the bold, and I promise that you will never know what you're capable of unless you try," she told the Barnard audience.
MORE: What J.C. Penney's Ron Johnson must do now
I'm a dreamer. I have big ideas for my company and for myself, but when it comes to action, I often hesitate, or worse, after I do something, I beat myself up over how I could have done it better. What I've come to learn is that the terrified feeling is part of being a professional, and especially part of being a female professional. I have learned to focus on what I can do one day at a time, ignoring the fear of failure. The opportunity to grow comes from taking risks, stretch assignments, and speaking up when you aren't 100% confident. There may be a few bumps, but slight embarrassment only leads to learning.
When I begin to doubt myself, I think about my motivations for doing whatever it is I'm uncertain of. I train myself to focus on what is possible and try to silence that voice in the negative voice in the back of my head.
Amanda Pouchot co-founded The Levo League with Caroline Ghosn.

National Agriculture Imagery Program
Through the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP), the US Department of Agriculture's Farm Service Agency acquires 1-meter aerial imagery covering the United States. The "leaf on" imagery is collected during agriculture growing seasons. It is frequently newer than other easily-available imagery (Yahoo, Bing) and can therefore be used for mapping recent changes.
In some areas (at least parts of Texas) Bing serves NAIP imagery.
For the JOSM WMS Plugin, the possible WMS url are
http://isse.cr.usgs.gov/ArcGIS/services/Combined/SDDS_Imagery/MapServer/WMSServer?request=getmap&version=1.1.1&format=image/png&srs=EPSG:4326&layers=0&styles=default& http://isse.cr.usgs.gov/ArcGIS/services/Combined/USGS_EDC_Ortho_NAIP/MapServer/WMSServer?request=getmap&version=1.1.1&format=image/png&srs=EPSG:4326&layers=0&styles=default& http://isse.cr.usgs.gov/ArcGIS/services/Combined/USGS_EDC_Ortho_NAIP/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetMap&version=1.1.0&format=image/jpeg&service=WMS&layers=0&STYLES=default&
2010 imagery was added in May 2011.
MapQuest has their OpenAerial tileset, mostly based on NAIP imagery. It's not necessarily the latest imagery;
A JOSM-format URL:
As of May 2011, final 2010 imagery is available and is also accessible via:
This is not always the latest imagery (example: the official NAIP server and MapQuest show more progress than Telascience on the US 54 expressway at Osage Beach, Missouri).
The USDA's Geospatial Data Gateway makes available downloadable county-wide image mosaics of NAIP imagery, other DOQs, DRGs, etc. Unfortunately, they are distributed in proprietary formats (MrSID, JPEG2000) and will require involved conversion before use in most software.

Josh Smith to Celtics rumors, and more from All-Star weekend
|Posted by shawn cassidy on February 16, 2013 at 12:35 PM
According to Gery Woelfel of the Racine Jornal Times
"I've heard for a few weeks now that Boston is salivating over Atlanta forward Josh Smith and would be receptive to unloading Brandon Bass and Jeff Green to obtain him."
I'm starting to grow fond of Green. I honestly wouldn't make that trade. I like Smith, and would like to see him in Green. But I don't think he's a max guy, and I think the Celtics would have to pay him that to keep him. If Green can continue to play like this, or even become a little better. He will be a steal, much like Rondo is with his contract. I think dealing Bass or Lee for Smith is a different story. But again who would replace Lee in the starting unit? I guess Smith would, and Pierce would move down to shooting guard? Not sure what Danny would do if he made a Smith deal, because with either deal your giving up two for one. From all reports. The Celtics have talked about patching up their wounds, not making them worse.
I would want Smith, but not for max money. Is Ainge willing to pay him that to keep him? If he's not, than don't rent him for a season.
Some other news this weekend as all of you know is the big KG rumors. This is what KG had to say about waving his no trade clause.
Marc J. Spears @SpearsNBAYahoo When asked if there was any team or circumstance that he would drop his trade clause for, Kevin Garnett simply said: "No."
I just don't see Danny blowing this thing up. The Celtics should fear just one team in the east, and that's Miami. I think the East is wide open for teams 2-7. The Celtics with Rondo would have been right there against the Heat, but now the Heat of course are clear favorites. But again I won't count out the C's.

Three San Antonio military families received a surprise gift of a lifetime Wednesday morning.
"I can't even put it into words right now. It's just a blessing," said Robbie Cadena.
Cadena and his wife, Joan, were surprised with a home at a ceremony hosted by Bank of America and Operation Homefront.
Two other wounded warriors and their families also received homes: Eddie and Mary Dodson and Charles and Alexandria Henry.
All three families had no idea they would become homeowners and were overcome with emotions.
"We were just blown away. We had no idea. We just woke up and got ready and thought we were going to have some breakfast," said Cadena.
Cadena took two gunshots to the chest while serving in the military and currently still has a bullet lodged in his spine. Wounded warriors like Cadena are who Bank of America and Operation Homefront hope to help.
"This is such a great program that really helps some of the warriors that defend America enjoy the American dream," said Jim Knotts, president and CEO of Operation Homefront.
The program gives veterans of all eras a chance to transition from a military life to civilian life by providing them a home, free of mortgage, for at least two years.
It has helped many families get back on their feet, which for wounded warriors can often be a tough task. Many of the homes are bank-owned, and are donated to the veterans.
"Without (Bank of America and Operation Homefront), I don't know where we would be right now," said veteran Eddie Dodson, who also received a home.
His wife, Mary, was overcome when she learned the news.
"I really appreciate this. This is the biggest blessing I could have ever have imagined in my life," said a teary Dodson.
For veteran Charles Henry and his wife Alexandria, who have two small children, the excitement was evident.
"I just feel really blessed right now. It lets us know were not alone," added Henry.

The Jedi Council suspects that Senator Rush Clovis, an InterGalactic Banking Clan delegate and former colleague of Padmé Amidala, may be working for the Separatists. Against Anakin's wishes, the Council asks Padmé if she would accompany Rush to Cato Neimoidia to uncover any clues regarding the Senator's true allegiances. Padmé agrees, feeling that her past relationship with the Senator -- which for a time had been romantic until she ended it -- might give her an advantage in the investigation. Fending off Anakin's jealousy, as well as an attempt on her life by Neimoidian Lott Dod, Padmé successfully reveals Clovis to be conspiring with the Separatists to build a military droid factory on Geonosis.
Against his wishes, Anakin agrees to act as Padmé's bodyguard on Cato Neimoidia as she investigates a former friend and colleague who may be working with the Separatists.
Padmé uses her past relationship with a fellow Senator to investigate the possibility that he is a Separatist conspirator.
C-3PO accompanies Padmé on her mission to uncover a possible connection between a former Senator colleague of hers and a Separatist plot to build a new military droid factory.
A senator from the Banking delegation, Rush Clovis was once romantically involved with Padmé Amidala. Padmé travels to Cato Neimoidia with the senator to find out if the Jedi suspicions are true -- that Clovis is now working with the Separatists.
The Neimoidian senator secretly plots the construction of a military droid factory with money from the Banking Clan -- an arrangement dependent on Rush Clovis. Dod poisons Padmé Amidala hoping to strengthen his negotiating position with Senator Clovis, who still harbors romantic feelings for his former colleague and friend.

Anand-Gelfand: the website and the logo
The official website of the world chess title match Anand-Gelfand was launched on Monday. Earlier this month the organizers had already revealed the official logo.
The homepage of the official website
On Monday we received a press release from the organizers of the Anand-Gelfand World Championship match, revealing the URL of the official website:
More than a month before the start of the match, the site already contains all the basic information on the forthcoming duel.
Visitors to the site will find out the match schedule and rules. The Players' Introduction section carries detailed biographies of Viswanathan Anand (very detailed in his case!) and Boris Gelfand. For those who are interested in chess statistics and history, the tournament and match records of the champion and the challenger and the results of all their previous head-to-head games are presented ('pre-match stats' on the right hand side). This part end with the previous encounters between Anand and Gelfand, which can all be replayed.
A separate section is devoted to the venue of the match, the State Tretyakov Gallery, which is the world's biggest collection of Russian art. You will also find interviews with leading world chess players, giving their forecasts for the match and reflecting on the prospects for synergy between chess and the world museums. ('Leading chess players speak about the match'.)
There, you can read comments by Peter Svidler, Vladimir Kramnik, Anatoly Karpov, Yuri Averbakh and Viktor Kortchnoi. They answered two questions: 1. What do you expect of the forthcoming Anand–Gelfand match? 2. The match will take place in the Tretyakov Gallery. Andrei Filatov, the sponsor of the match, believes that bringing chess and art together can open a new page in chess history. What do you think of this idea?
Especially Karpov's answers were quite interesting:
1. I've known both these Grandmasters for many years. They are close in age, and it seems to me that the difference in their strength in chess was more marked in the past. We have to bear in mind that Gelfand still has ambitions and the desire to scale new heights and become the world champion, while Anand possibly no longer has the sharpness with which he approached his first match and his title. Of course, he wants to maintain the status quo, but does he have the nerves? It seems to me that he is nervously more worn-out than Gelfand. World championship matches are a matter of nerves, and the question of motivation can prove to be more important than the purely chess element. Also, as far as I can tell, Gelfand is still less attached to the computer than Anand. This could be a source of both minuses and pluses.
2. The idea of playing in a museum is very interesting. I remember playing in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam myself in 1976. It was a strong international tournament, and I got a lot of pleasure from going to look at a picture between moves, something I did over two weeks. I played fast in those days!
Of course, it's not a tournament ahead of us, but a world championship match – quite a different matter for the contestants, and they're not likely to have the opportunity for distractions. But for the spectators there are more opportunities. I think the idea is very good, and chess lovers should like it.
The Greetings section features messages by FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, Chairman of the RCF Supervisory Board Arkady Dvorkovich, General Director of the State Tretyakov Gallery Irina Lebedeva and match sponsor Andrei Filatov, a shareholder in the N-Trans Group.
Journalists will find on the site all the information they might need about accreditation and references to materials published in leading Russian and world media.
According to the press release, the site is only just "beginning its work" - it will be regularly updated.
The match between the reigning champion Viswanathan Anand (India, 2799) and the challenger Boris Gelfand (Israel, 2739) will take place on 10-31 May 2012. On March 12th, the official logo was revealed:
The logo is a schematic drawing of a chess crown comprising of several elements. The upper part of the logo depicts semi-spheres of the crown borrowing the colors of the national flags of India and Israel (orange/green and grey/blue, respectively). The central element of the crown is formed by the outlines of chess pieces. At the foot of the crown is a heraldic band featuring the colors of the Russian national flag (white, blue, red) with the FIDE logo in its center. Framing the crown is the circle inscription "FIDE World Chess Championship Match 2012".

Great web site. After reading the his-story section, I asked myself why would anyone question Gelfands' participation or belittle the upcoming world championship contest?

Quote from the "Match History"
..."The two most powerful tournament and match players of recent times"...
Time for some self reflection for the organisers... ;-)
2 years 3 weeks ago
Gelfand's last tournament win came in 2005 and Anand's in 2008 and they are still the two most powerful tournament players of recent times, fascinating :-)
2 years 3 weeks ago
From the rest of the paragraph it's clear that they only consider FIDE events (the Mexico WCh tournament, WCh matches, World Cup and the Kazan candidates). At these occasions, Anand won whenever he participated, so did Gelfand (but shared second place in Mexico). Private events are another story ... .

LOL, I do not dipsute Kaprov's greatness, but sometimes he is funny. Karpov says Anand is more attached to the computer... can't blame him after what Anand did to him at the advanced chess match, thrashing him 5-0.
Funny comments, atleast Anand won the title by beating the former Champion, ... how i adore Fischer for denying Karpov that :) ..
Sorry, i think i kind of took it the other way..

Good and sexy site, but something is wrong with the history of WCC-matches in that site (i.e. http://moscow2012.fide.com/en/history).
I understand that Steinitz - Zukertort 1886 WCC was organized by FIDE, unlike
Kasparov-Short 1993.

Isn't the Hermitage the biggest art museum in Russia? (Or is that foreign art and not Russian art?)

Smart trick, Stuart, but I still think your comment should be deleted.
2 years 2 weeks ago
Why? Do you disagree?
No Stuart, I think the logo is not too bad. Although it reminded me a bit of the olympic logo, colors and rings. But it might have been enough just to say you are an expert on logos. I'm also in the graphic branch and would like some free publicity in these dire times. But I kind of admire your attempt at guerilla marketing.
2 years 3 weeks ago
Would have been nice to have had the players' names on the logo – it's about them, isn't it? Not FIDE.

I saw the comments of Kramnik as 12 games format. He didnt complain when he won against Topalov. His title match with Kasparov was a gift given after loosing to Shirov in the semi final. It cant happen in any other sport. Kramnik seems to be sore looser and knows that he can probably never play in a WC title match again. Unless, Anand or Gelfand offers to play him like Kasparov did.
Yes, it was a bit funny, wasn't it? Now he says 12 game matches can be won by "opening gimmicks" (obviously referring to Anand vs Kramnik 6.5-4.5 and the Bb7 line) while 14 game matches are much more decisive and serious (what other cases than Kramnik vs Leko 7-7 are there and how decisive was that match?). Before Kazan 4 game matches were quite long according to him but as soon as he had lost one of them they were horrible, and he had always preferred Candidates tournaments. Let's see what he will say about the format if he has a bad Candidates tournament.

Q: Are fossils millions of years old?
A: All over the world we find fossils—these are the buried remains of creatures that are preserved in rocks. Many Christians say that they believe the fossil record must be millions of years old. After all, that's what most scientists are saying.
But not all scientists believe this. And, even more importantly, the Bible tells us that death of man and animals did not occur until after the first man, Adam, sinned (Romans 5:12). So there couldn't have been animal or human fossils before sin.
Evolutionist quote of the week
"Thus, for example, a great English traveller, who lived for a considerable time on the west coast of Africa, says: 'I consider the negro to be a lower species of man, and cannot make up my mind to look upon him as "a man and a brother," for the gorilla would then also have to be admitted into the family.'"
– Ernst Haeckel, The History of Creation, p. 365.
The whole basis of the gospel message is that sin brought death and that man needs to be redeemed. The Bible also tells us that one day there's going to be a restoration of all things—a new heavens and a new Earth. Death will be removed; the curse will be gone; there will be no more suffering or crying. It will be a perfect place (Revelation 21).
Christians can't believe the fossil record is millions of years old; it destroys the whole gospel message.
Evolutionists say that paleontologists have found many examples of transitional fossils for creatures such as birds, whales and horses. Is this true? Does the fossil record support evolution?

text: My daylite basement has nine Juno 6" cans on one three way circuit. I have never been able to get decent life from any type of lamp that I've used. Both standard lamps and Halogens burn out after only very short usage. They are IC rated cans, but there is no insulation in the joist space. Similar cans on the main floor work just fine, with decent lamp life. Right now I've put plain 60W bulbs in and nothing has failed in the last couple of weeks, but they look terrible. Any ideas?

Would you like your holiday to be a bit more exiting? Then dive!
I visited the Biyadoo island for the second time after 10 months. In a life of an average person 10 months doesn't mean that much but Biyadoo diving center went through big changes. Its previous excellent leader was promoted and the center got new Italian bases leader. Unfortunately, this guy did not prove himself to be very good and the interest in diving among island guests was rapidly increasing. As everything in capitalist world is driven by profit, this guy was left very soon. Center was taken over by Daniel Linares, the ex-base leader in Makunudu.He started building all over the good fame of the center. When I was there, he had only 4 dive instructors to attend increasing interest of the guests. Diving was becoming very popular. Sometimes in the mornings even the second boat was borrowed from the other island so all divers get maximum from their dive. This is not only for a bigger comfort of the guests but mainly for a better security. Normally mornings dives require more experience as they take place in the canals-promising big fishes to be seen. Using all instructors and the base leader, there were never more then 5 people with one instructor, but usually 3-4. As for the dive sites: In the morning I would recommend Guraidho corner or Cocoa corner. These sites are not with that much current-if you are lucky and you can still see a lot. If current is what you want then go for Kandooma Thila or Medu Faru. I am not current and wave's friend so I enjoyed the afternoon dives. Triton Giri with high probability of seeing frogfish, Villivary Giri and its Ghostfish or Horua Hura and its cozy caves full of small creatures.
Biyadoo diving center also organizes a wreck dive to Kuda Giri Wreck. This boat is at the depth of 30 meters and is very well preserve. For me it will look better when corals will start taking over but men appreciate it as it is now. House reef in Biyadoo is very nice dive, as well. It is an obligatory check dive to be admitted for the boat dives. After showing to the instructor that you can loose and find your regulator and your mask, you will enjoy nice calm dive where with a bit of luck you will see turtles, lobsters, rays, morays, sharks, napoleons or octopuses. Biyadoo have dive sites for everyone, from beginners to very advanced divers searching for real adventure. Dive normally sums up to 60 dollars per dive but dive packages and discounts are provided. Courses from baptize dive to instructor course can be taken here. Experienced diving instructors are here to teach you and make you feel good while diving.

The 007 theme song was playing as we stepped into the Juniper room at the Essex Conference Center & Retreat in Essex, Mass., last Thursday. A woman dressed in black and faux animal print peered down her sunglasses at us (it was dark and rainy out on that day in June), gave us a mysterious smile, then continued arranging some envelopes, Polaroid cameras, and other paraphernalia on the table.
We were an eight-person group of meeting planners (and one journalist) who came to experience TeamBonding's most popular corporate teambuilder, Spy Game, and we were ready to rumble. TeamBonding's lead facilitator, Kevin Prentice, posing as Professor X, divided us into two groups, then outlined the scenario: The morning's activities were the final exam for us, the graduating class of the Spy School. My group, the CIA, faced off against the now-defunct Russian KGB. The point was to save the world from the ultimate weapon of mass destruction--the doomsday machine--by figuring out what country was harboring it. But first, we had to follow the clues, exercise our intelligence and creativity, and perform numerous dirty tricks.
When we opened our briefing package, out poured the tools of the spy trade: coded messages, top-secret passwords, audiotapes, bugging devices (stickers to plant on the other team when they weren't looking), and assorted other bits and pieces we had to assemble into some sort of working spy device a la McGiver. While I can't give away classified secrets, suffice to say we discovered we probably should keep our day jobs as we decoded, searched, sabotaged the other team, and laughed liked hyenas. Even though our team's song, set to the tune of the Village People's classic "YMCA" and acted out enthusiastically, if not well, made us winners in our minds, the dastardly KGB ended up winning the competition as a whole by a hair. But we all learned a lot about each other, and worked on our problem-solving and prioritizing skills, among others.
"People tend to gravitate toward the activity they'll have the most fun with, not necessarily the activity that will move the group closer to its goals," said Prentice, after the winners got their prizes and posed for a "Charlie's Angels"-style photo, with cap-guns drawn. He pointed out that we each chose to work on the activities that looked like the most fun, regardless of how many points they would earn us. "The same thing happens in the corporate environment, with the same result," he added. His company can include a discussion on how ethics, leadership, and other topics relate to the game after the two-hour session, or you can use it as a standalone teambuilder/ icebreaker. Either way, it's a blast.
Some client companies also have used a different slant on the program: First, the TeamBonding facilitator administers a Myers-Briggs personality test, then, without telling participants which type they are, breaks them up into teams with all the same type, and with differing personality types. "The same-type teams tend to do terribly, because they all bring the same skills and approaches to the table. They get to see that teams with diversified personalities tend to do the best," said Prentice.
The minimum size for the program is 12 participants (we were a special case), and the maximum is 250, broken in to 25 groups of 10. Spy School is just one of many programs TeamBonding runs out of its Canton, Mass., and San Diego, Calif., offices. The company can bring its programs just about anywhere in the U.S. or abroad.
